Servings: 8
Ingredients
- ½ cup Expresso or strong coffee
- 3 tbsp Brandy
- 3 ounces Bittersweet Chocolate
- 3 large egg yolks
- 2 large egg whites
- 4 tbsp Sugar
- 1¼ cup Mascarpone
- 22 Ladyfingers
Instructions
- Mix together coffee and brandy
- Cut chocolate into small pieces
- Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until the mixture is very pale and forms a ribbon. Fold in the mascarpone, a tablespoon at a time.
- Whisk the egg whites until stiff, then fold them into the mascarpone and egg mixture.
- Put a layer of ladyfingers on a dish, (1/2 of the number in the package.) Dip a pastry brush into the coffee and brandy mixture and soak the ladyfingers with it. – (I usually just pour from a measuring cup using 1/2 the amount of coffee/brandy mixture for the first layer saving the rest for the second layer)
- Spread about 1/2 of the mascarpone over the ladyfingers and then scatter with pieces of chocolate.
- Cover with another layer of ladyfingers, brandy & coffee, mascarpone and chocolate until you have used all the ingredients. Place the desert in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours.
